Description Mitas TR-12
The Mitas TR-12 is designed as a power tyre for driving wheels, but its characteristics (carcass strength, tread depth, and resistance to deformation) allow it to be installed on trailer axles without losing resource. In agriculture, this means the possibility of unifying the fleet of tyres. The manufacturer allows operation on any type of soil — from clayey chernozem to sandy-gravel mixtures, as well as on asphalted areas, where manageability and braking distance are important.
Structural specification
The model has a classic radial cord, where steel threads are arranged perpendicular to the direction of movement. The architecture allows the sidewall to work on bending independently of the tread, which gives two key advantages: minimal heating during long crossings and even distribution of pressure. The wide profile further reduces the specific pressure on the soil. This is especially important for mounted equipment, where the center of gravity is shifted.
Sidewall design
Engineers paid special attention to the sidewalls. Their optimized shape with reinforced pads in the shoulder area minimizes the risk of cuts and punctures. And in the central part of the tread, the blocks partially overlap each other, forming a continuous composite rib. On a flat surface, it reduces the deformation of the tread. As a result, rolling resistance decreases, and fuel efficiency increases.
Key features of the Mitas TR-12:
- designed for driving axles of tractor equipment, but installation on trailers and mounted equipment is allowed;
- a pattern with curved blocks provides high traction, both in the forward and reverse directions, simplifying maneuvers on complex soils;
- the central composite rib reduces heat and rolling resistance when moving on solid surfaces;
- the sidewall design with an optimized shape protects against damage when contacting obstacles, reducing the risk of sudden failure;
- the radial carcass and wide profile provide stable handling, low specific pressure on the ground, and even wear.
